SMN macros

[NintenPyjak64]

Hold on now! I ask Bards to rotate targets. do to if they're not hitting tanks targets they easily pull agro.
and if you want pet to hit tanks target, just cast heal on tank when tank first hits.

If I want to designate my egi's target, I hit my F2 for Obey, and I don't understand what you're trying to say with the first sentence. Controller users don't need macros to be 100% efficient. It took me a simple reddit search to find how to set up skills optimally for SMN

I like you.
Well I keep redoing my hot bars (PS3) like my summon pets is on bar 2 so in a fight when I summon pet. and then go back to fighting I'll forget to go back to bar1. I finally moved Sprint and put Raging Strikes there, do to bar 1 place is Run II. it's really tough when I Rez a party member.

As a SMN the only macros worth using are a Spur/Rouse macro, swiftcast/garuda macro, and possibly a swiftcast/rez macro, anything else is a certain loss to dps. You don't want your dots on a macro, because this completely removes the ability to properly clip dots, which will ultimately cost you extra damage (An optimal dot rotation is something like Bio2>Miasma>Bio>Bio>Miasma>Bio2>Bio>Miasma>Bio>repeat Reapplying Miasma and bio2 with about 4 seconds left on the timer, Bio with about 2.)

I will agree, for some classes, especially BRD, macroing your abilities is very beneficial. SMN unfortunately, is not one of those classes.
